My main option is to purchase three additional sticks? I purchased a 1600 MHz 1x8, but it's capped at 799 MHz unless I increase the DRAM voltage and enable XMP.

I own a Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 motherboard along with an i7 4790K processor running at 4.00GHz.

Double Data Rate (ddr) indicates more than just 799; it displays half of the frequency shown on the sticker of the ram. It actually shows 1600 MHz, though it's displaying only half of that value.

The Stick is already at 1600. That makes sense, so essentially it's overclocking at maximum.

My memory is currently running at 1600 MHz, yet I'm surpassing its suggested maximum by increasing its speed beyond the advised level.

i think you should sell your 8g stick and receive three 4gb units, giving you 1600hz performance across each of the three different rams.

Using an i7-4790K processor has the memory controller built into the CPU. Intel advises keeping the memory voltage below 1.575V to prevent damage from excessive power.

Increasing RAM speed through overclocking offers only slight improvements.

Alrighty, i am not to fond of burning down my PC, so i'll just have to keep it the way it is. I guess the only thing to do is to wait till i want to buy a new one. This one is 5 years old btw...
